Now, THAT's a good innovative idea. Challenges as they are now, are designed to last only a few ingame weeks at most. We now need long-term, hard-to-succeed challenges. Throw in the custom settings, and that will keep us busy for quite some time.

May you share with us some of the pictures, drawings, sketches, that helped you design the esthetics of the game ? I was looking at the "fan creations" forums, and thought that it lacked HL's own input...

Will we have more "Canadian flavor" added to the game (I'm looking at you, maple syrup) ? I really enjoy that "proud to be canadian" attitude of HTL (even though I'm french), it creates a whole new atmosphere and makes the game stand out.

No problem (I repeat : I'm not a moderator, ask them for more details) :

You see, I'm not trying to be a jerk, but it's not as if you were the first to suggest mods here...

It's all about strategy, "what for when". I bring all pots to my bases, especially those with multiple cooking slots (now in milton, preparing for travel in the new river valley). This way the times for preparing water and cooking deer meat is almost the same. You can also make huge amount of water and stockpile it with the same fire.
And when travelling, I use cans.
